Anyone seen this fish locally?

It would look nice in Michael's tank, for sure

If you picked up a small one it could probably be kept in a smaller tank. Most fish never reach their ocean size in our tanks. At least I have not seen it happen.

Saw one at Big Al's about two weeks ago, wasn't looking so hot though. I believe the price was pretty up there though.

Very common and easy to get.

Sucks though b/c in my experience they are nearly impossible to get to eat.

Called a pyramid or triangle butterfly on the sheets from the phillipines and sri lanka

JL's had them in stock in the fall, they were about 3-4" and probably one of the very few reef safe butterflies. Probably seasonal though, you might have a tough time trying to find one now.

Maybe shoot them a mail and see whether they can get any in?
